Jack thanks for the info…. You must not be the only person that was unhappy with the way the victron prioritized the power supplied, as they have upgrade the firmware to do exactly as you describe. I have installed a Growatt in a system a year or so ago and really like them (especially the price) but since we “moochdock” at the kids house in California and they only have 15 amp power , Victron’s additional feature of limiting shore power amps and assisting with the difference made them the only choice.
Gordon thanks for the info. I’m going to go out and try to see what systems are connected to what positive feed wire. If the slide hydraulic motors are on the same feed as the generator, I’ll just connect them to the chassis batteries and then feed the rest of the house 12 systems with the DC to DC converter from the 48v. I hope that is the case as I do not want to pull continuous loads from the chassis batteries then the engine is not started.
On a side note, can anyone explain the 3 way switch on the emergency start solenoid? I obviously need to disconnect this when it have 2 separate voltage systems, but was surprise to see it was a 3 position (center off) switch.
